ToonPaw (previously Tvalo Bear) is a member of the furry fandom, a fursuit builder, and designer at ToonSuit Character Costumes, a Vancouver, Canada-based mascot making organization. He is an avid traveller, and history buff. He is always happy to chat up a fellow furry and lend a helping paw.

ToonPaw joined the furry community in the mid 1990s. He was always a fan of animation art and cute cartoon characters. He worked for The Walt Disney Company in the early 1990s and Baloo the Bear is his all-time favourite character. He began making fursuits in 2003 and has made many dozens of cute cartoon-type characters.

ToonSuits is a Vancouver, Canada, registered company, and has been making mascots and fursuits since 2003. They have made dozens of suits for various charities, elementary schools in North America, and for private owners and furries around North America, Japan, and Europe. ToonSuit costumes tend to be wide eyed, cartoon-type critters. Each suit is built to a customer's specifications.
